CLARA E. HOOKE (FORMERLY CLARA E.YCARR) AND GEORGE D. SCOTT, OF NEWYORK, N. Y., EXECUTORS OF WILLIAM S. CARR, DECEASED.

SWINGING URINAL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 262,671, dated August15, 1882.

Application filed May 13, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Beit known that WILLIAM S. CARR, late of the city and State of New York,now deceased, did invent an Improvement in Swinging Uri nals, of whichthe following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to simplify the construction of theswinging urinal and to obtain necessary strength, and at the same timeto allow for the use ot' porcelain for most ofthe parts, so that theymay be kept clean and free from odor. The basin and waterways are madeof porcelain or earthenware, and the trap and waste-pipe also are ofearthenware, in one piece with the basin, and the valve-plug andwaste-water way are in line with a column that forms the axis on whichthe parts swing.

In Letters Patent No. 45,315 the swinging urinal is made with aporcelain basin set into a metal holder or trunk, and this is providedat the upper end with a valve-connection and at the lower end with asewer-pipe thimble. In the present invention the pipes and couplings aresimilar to those in said patent, the improvement bengin the basin andporcelain trap, that take the place of the iron trunk and prevents riskof sewer-gases escaping, because the joint between the iron andporcelain is prevented.

In the drawings, Figure l is a vertical section of the urinal complete,and Fig. 2 is a sectional plan at the line w fr.

The iron back b, supply water-pipe p, valve s, and hollow conical plug mare similar in construction and operation to the parts in the aforesaidpatent, except that the plug m is adapted to be cohnected with theporcelain, as hereinafter set forth.

The basin a is made with a hollowr rim,form ing a water-way, to whichthe tubular arm f is connected, and the same extends to the socket g,that receives the lower end of the plug m,- and 7c is the waste-pipetrap, that extends from the under surface of the basin to the conicalthimble o of the waste-pipe coupling p; and there is a column, r, ofporcelain, between the arm f and pipe k, that is hollow, and into thisthe stem of the conical plug mis fastened. This is preferably madesquare, so

that the stem and plug will be turned by the swinging ofthe basin.

It will now be apparent that the wat-er is turned on and off by theswinging ot' the urinal, as in said patent, and that the present devicehas all the advantages of the one heretofore made, with the additionaladvantages of cleanliness and freedom from odor or escaping sewer-gas,because there is no iron trunk and no joints that can leak gas, and thesurface of the porcelain, except the interior of the pipes, can be keptentirely clean, and the waste-pipe trap will remain full of water toexclude sewergas.

The porcelain basin, waste-pipe trap, tubular arm, and column are allformed together in the usual way in making pottery, and baked to makeone piece, and glazed and I remark that it is preferable to extend thestem of thc plug through to the bridge of conical thimble o, as shown,so as to fasten the parts firmly together and insure a proper relativeposition ot' the thimble to the plug, and to form a vertical pin thatstrengthens the porcelain at the axis upon which the nrinal swings.

What is claimed as the invention of NV. S. GARE is l. In a swingingurinal,a basin, waste-pipe trap, tubular arm, and connecting-column,made in one piece of porcelain or equivalent material, in combinationwith the hollow plug m, thimble o, and waste-pipe coupling,substantially as set forth.

2. In a swinging urinal, the combination, with the supply-pipe andvalve, of a basin, waste-pipe trap, tubular arm, and column, made of onepiece of porcelain, a conical plug, m, a conical thimble, o, and a stemextending from the plug m to the bridge ofthe thimble o, substantiallyas set forth.

Signed this 12th day of April, A. D. 1882.
